To our knowledge, no report exists of a subcentimeter size large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung. A 75-year-old man participating in a low-dose CT screening program for lung cancer was found incidentally to have a partly-solid nodule in the right upper lung. After treatment with antibiotics, a repeat CT showed resolution of the nodule, but a new solid nodule measuring 9 x 9 mm was detected in the left lower lobe. The lesion showed marked enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Video-assisted thoracic surgery and frozen section biopsy was suggestive of malignant lesion, resulting in extension of surgery to lobectomy with nodal dissection. The final diagnosis was stage IA-LCNEC. The estimated volume doubling time of the tumor was 30.1 days. These aggressive tumors may rarely have doubling times that overlap with benign processes.

D018278 Carcinoma, Neuroendocrine A group of carcinomas which share a characteristic morphology, often being composed of clusters and trabecular sheets of round "blue cells", granular chromatin, and an attenuated rim of poorly demarcated cytoplasm. Neuroendocrine tumors include carcinoids, small ("oat") cell carcinomas, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, Merkel cell tumor, cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell tumors, and pheochromocytoma. Neurosecretory granules are found within the tumor cells. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Carcinomas, Neuroendocrine,Neuroendocrine Carcinoma,Neuroendocrine Carcinomas
D018287 Carcinoma, Large Cell A tumor of undifferentiated (anaplastic) cells of large size. It is usually bronchogenic. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Carcinomas, Large Cell,Cell Carcinoma, Large,Cell Carcinomas, Large,Large Cell Carcinoma,Large Cell Carcinomas
